Men thus educated will be more dangerous to soclety than the uneducated grafter or crook. { “Again the alumnl constitute one ! of the most serious menaces to the development and maintenance of proper moral standards among students. fany college students today | seem inclined 1o go to greater ex- | cesses in the use of intoxicating li- | quors than in the past. College ef-| ficers are doing everything in their power to create a proper restraint gainst these evils, but their task is rendered vastly more difficulty when alumni of a fraternity carry liquor into the rrawmvy house and when it secins necessary that every alumni dinner or reunion be sufficiently wet to supply the stimulus for what is} regarded as a hilarfous time.” 2 Tiny Handbags i\O\\ Fashionable in Paris Pari Jan. $1.—The “Velvet Pochette” is the latest fashion in bags which the Paris creative genius, always on the alert is ima- gining charming new frivolities to tempt the fashionable woman's fancy, has invented, The are mostly made velvet, brightened by a formal de- sign of steel paillett and are to be had in all the colors of the rainbow.
